Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Forum

I installed C&C on my macbook pro running 10.5. The installation seemed to work just fine, but when I go to play the game I get this message: "no disk inserted. Please insert original game DVD." The disk is inserted and I can see the icon on my desktop. My version of CrossOver games is 7.1.1. Anybody know how to fix this?

The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software in this program
prevents it from running in CrossOver. If you are in a legal jurisdiction
which allows removal of such software, you may have luck running this
program. Unfortunately, CodeWeavers, because they are subject to the

Quote Matthew Brown:
In order to install I had to follow these steps...

1. Install game on a windows computer (or bootcamp windows)

2. The Digital Rights Management (DRM) software in this program
   prevents it from running in CrossOver. If you are in a legal jurisdiction
   which allows removal of such software, you may have luck running this
   program. Unfortunately, CodeWeavers, because they are subject to the

3. Copy the game over to "/<user>/Application Support/Crossover/Bottles/<winxp bottle>/drive_c/Program Files/" (Copy the entire EA Games directory, or make your own and copy the C&C 3 directory)
   4*. Download and extract (http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/files/microsoft.vc80.crt.zip) into the game's directory. The file needs to be renamed to removed the added extensions except .zip in order to extract properly.

4. Download and extract (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_29) into "/<user>/Application Support/Crossover/Bottles/<winxp bottle>/drive_c/windows/system32", do the same for this file (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus) . They are missing DLLs

5. Open Winecfg from the crossover bottle management window.

6. Under applications select "add application" and navigate it to "C&C3.EXE", once the application profile is created highlight "C&C3.EXE" from the list and goto the Audio panel. Select Hardware accelleration: Full, and set the sample rate to: 48000, Deselect: Emulation if it is selected. (These setting will give the best quality audio without impacting performance too much, as tested with a MacBook Pro)

7. Apply one of these two registry settings according to the version of C&C3, be sure to insert you CD-KEY where it says "YOURKEY" in the file. Normal (http://upload2.net/page/download/Ct9wdNTVwsywUg7/cnc3.reg.html) , Kane Edition (http://www.thehandofagony.com/alex/wine/reg/cnc3kane.reg) .

8. Load the game and set settings to Low in the options menu, some options may be pushed up a little more but may cause the game to crash.

Most of this might be irrelevant because this was done on Crossover 6.10. The current Crossover Games is 7.1.1
